6 Books I Read in April and a Book Giiveaway

Sacred Parenting: How Raising Children Shapes Our Souls by Gary L. Thomas. I appreciated the way this book approached parenting. Much like how he handled marriage in his book Sacred Marriage, the author talks about how parenting changes us – for the better! – more than it does our children.

The Meaning of Marriage by Timothy Keller

The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie O’Martian. This was a re-read, but I always find it full of helpful reminders of how to best pray for my husband.

The Life of Charles Finney

Other books I read that were not on my list were as follows:

Kitchen Confidence by Kelsey Nixon

Notes from a Blue Bike by Tsh Oxenreider. I enjoyed this book about living simply. Readers are encouraged to set their own priorities as a family and arrange their lifestyles to reflect those priorities.

Our girls and I are still working our way through our current read aloud, David Copperfield – and they’re still excited about it! They’re continually asking me what’s going to happen next, but I refuse to ruin the story by giving them any spoilers.

I’ve been reading Growing Up Duggar and am finding it so interesting! My 13-year-old got it read before I did. I’ll share more of my thoughts on it in my May update.

Today I’m giving away a copy of Tsh’s book Notes from a Blue Bike. There are two ways to enter.

I love Sacred Marriage, so I should read Sacred Parenting. (I should probably reread Sacred Marriage while I'm at it.)

As for my favorite nonfiction book, I'm not sure. Can I say the Bible? Maybe Sacred Marriage, but that may be just because it's just been mentioned. Hmmm. That's a hard one. Probably something by C.S. Lewis or maybe a biography.
